Help needed again for Internal Drive Access

[18pcs]

I just installed a new drive in the C300 and downloaded and installed all the NMT apps.
I just need to be able to copy files from my laptop(W7-Home) to the internal disk of the Popcorn , but am unable to see this disk or map it on the laptop.
Firewalls are all off.
Workgroups are same
All NMT apps running incl Samba
There are so many topics highlighting access to a network disk, but couldnt find much info on accessing the C300 disk.
Anyone any advice , please.

What happens when you type the C300 ip in your Windows browser?

Plus how is your network setup?

It keeps searching and then returns a error message. Netowrk is setup with Static Ip address, DHCP is off. I tried to map a drive by entering \\C300\share and this also returned a error.

try \\ip.address\share

change ip address to teh ip you used in the static settings

[chris57]

Try:-
\\ipof yourC300
in browser.
Where ip will be something like 192.168.1.xxx or 192.168.0.xxx

It may be that your have some firewall or router issue stopping then communicating.

And give us more details:-
What ip's you are using for your network devices in your LAN? - Allof them - subnet, gateway, DNS servers, static internal ip.
What are you entering and where on your Windows PC?
What NMT Apps version are you using, is it the correct one for your firmware?

what are you trying to do both now and how do you want things to work in general?

tried \\192.168.1.20
and \\192.168.1.20\share
getting error message

Router is on 192.168.1.1

Popcorn is on 192.168.1.20
subnet is 255.255.255.0

I just tried to ping 192.168.1.20 and it gave me 8,5,4,5 ms

I ran lan scan and it showed me only two computers on the netwrk
192.168.1.15 workgroup
192.168.1.13 workgroup Master

15 is my laptop and 13 is a wdtv live in another room.
I have several other items connected in the same workgroup like nas, c300, brother printer, but not visible.

After burning the midnight oil and trying unrelentlessy for several hours, I have managed to get access to the C300's harddisk.
But there are lots of folders visible like
Download
lost+found
Music
nmj_database
Photo
Video


How do I show only the three relevant folders like Music, Videos, Photos and hide the others ?
Thank you everyone for your help in this matter.

[chris57]

You dont it will show all folders. You could set NMJ to autolaunch when a nmj_database folder is detected which would mean the UI disappearing and NMJ appearing.
